ONE
Will Biden resign his Presidency? And provide a “flight test” for Kamala?
By the time you read this, you’ll know more than I do now.
I wrote the first part of this piece hours before Biden addressed the nation on his decision to bow out of the race in November.
I wrote the second part after Biden’s remarks.
What I know so far: Biden’s handlers made sure his first “I won’t run again” was stunningly casual. It appeared as a brief tweet.
As if Biden was telling the nation US Postal Service deliveries of mail would be temporarily reduced because of a budget shortfall.
When, in fact, a sitting President declining to run for a second term is a momentous decision.
The “tweet strategy” will make Biden’s resignation from the Presidency itself easier, IF he is told to step down altogether. He can be less formal and more brief and more business-as-usual about that, too.
And allow Kamala to serve as President for a few months and prove to America she can be Presidential—meaning she won’t destroy the country before Election Day.
That would definitely give Kamala a leg up with voters on the fence. “See, that wasn’t so bad. She stayed on track. She met with foreign dignitaries. She spoke to a Governors conference. She issued a warning about Bird Flu…”
A smooth transition. Before Election Day.
My guess is, Joe will tell the nation tonight he is definitely staying on as President to the end of his term.
Yes, well, he said he was going to run again a few days before he said he wouldn’t.
The Biden puppet masters would like nothing better than a smooth transition of the Presidency from Joe to Kamala BEFORE the election.
A slick steal.
THEN she would run for “RE-ELECTION.” As the sitting President.
“She’s already there in the Oval Office. Just vote for her to stay. No problem. Easy as pie.”
OK. I’m signing off for now. I’ll be back after Biden’s speech tonight.

—And…I’m back. Biden just finished his soliloquy from the Oval.
Wow. Talk about mechanical clichés. Wall to wall.
My impression was of a high school student president from 1950 giving a memorized address to the graduating class. And everyone saying, that was a great job with big words.
Meaning: a total disconnect from reality. And a total disconnect from genuine emotion.
Biden’s reference to “a problem” was oblique and quick:
